Sloan was funny Sunday. I was SO sick after the radio show I went straight to bed and just barely made it through church on Sunday and then back to bed for a bit to keep on recovery road. (Boy, that's just too easy I won't even do it)
Anyway, she said: "Boy, Mom. I had NO idea how much you did!"
This surprised me because I know how much she can do and it is plenty.
But I never really realized that I am always really "here" in one way or the other. They are not on their own...until I got sick. TWICE. First with the stomach bug and then with the flu or whatever it is.
Saturday night she had to get the chores done, make dinner, clean it up, prepare dessert for church, get the kids bathed and pull out church clothes. Not a lot really, but somehow my being "out of the picture" made her feel the actual weight of the responsibility for an extended period.
She said, "My legs were shaking I was so exhausted when I went to bed."
Lol, ha! Just wait!
The really funny part was though, was when I asked-"Did you get the baby in a bath?"
and she answered, "I just hosed her down outside!"

You crack me up! Legs shakin'?
Yes, she had been on her feet all day.
That is hilarious! It is true, you can't really know what a mom does all day until you do it.
I heard a funny story one time about a man who came home from work and in the driveway all the car doors were open and groceries were strewn from the car and into the house--the front door was wide open. He went in to find totaly chaos and his wife was nowhere to be find. The house was a mess, kids dirty, etc. He finally found his wife in their room reading a book. She said, "You know how you ask me what I do all day? Well, today I didn't do it."
very cute- hosed the baby off.
